The Sisterhood: Episode Eight: The Sisterhood, #8

By Tali Inlow

CONTINUE THE JOURNEY IN EPISODE EIGHT

 

Autumn Parish never wanted to be a hero. But as she treks across the desolate Midwest years after the collapse of society, a hero is exactly what she's become: a SHEPHERD, weaving magic from words and guiding people between this life and the next.

 

Summer Norwood rules a wild outpost on the outskirts of what used to be Phoenix, but her grasp on power is fragile. As the SHERIFF, she has a massive target on her back. With evil brewing, she vows not to go down without a fight.

 

In their childhoods, both were students at the Whitmore School for Girls in Appalachia, an elite and intensely secretive SCHOOL where young women were taught how to conquer the world. Those who attended became part of the Sisterhood, a network spanning the globe, their influence and power unparalleled.

 

Desire drew Autumn and Summer together from different worlds, taking them from enemies to lovers at Whitmore. But betrayal ultimately tore them apart. Twenty-five years later, when Autumn receives a magical summons drawing her west, she never expected to be reunited with the woman who betrayed her all those years before. But when Autumn realizes that other members of their Sisterhood are in danger, she may have to put their past where it belongs, teaming up with Summer to save them all.

THE SHERIFF

SUMMER AND ARKE MAKE it back to their home within Owl House not half an hour after their reunion. As they approach, Arke spots one of the night watchmen leaning against the wall on the front porch of the three-story building the Whitmore Girls inhabit.

Dean, she huffs in Summer’s direction. Was he on guard last night, too, when that card showed up on your pillow?

He was, Summer confirms. But don’t raise hell with him. Arke shoots her an icy look, but Summer’s hand on her shoulder thaws the woman almost instantly. To bring it up will just make him needlessly jumpy. We’ll cross that bridge but only when we absolutely must. Besides, she bumps gently into her friend, I’ll be with all three of you tonight. I doubt there will be any safer place in the entirety of the city.

When they pass Dean on their way into the house, Summer dutifully tilts her head in his direction, an automatic response to his own polite nod towards her. He blanches a bit at the stoney facade the other woman, the Whitmore, levels him with, but it’s never been his place to ask questions or step even a toe out of line. He’s not going to start breaking ranks now.
